Les Paul could do something with a guitar, that’s for sure.

Indeed. What an amazing and full life though.

RIP. Not only did he have an excellent ear and help pioneer some excellent instruments, he was an exceptional player in his own right.

If one would listen and become familiar with Les Paul's total body of work, you would hear some of the most creative and technically precise guitar playing ever recorded, which,IMO, has never been matched.

additionally I have always been impressed with the breadth of his repertoire.

Yes he had his electronic devices, but nonetheless, the music needed to be played and no one did it better.

I've been playing my vintage Gold Top all afternoon in his honor.

RIP friend.
